COMMITTEE REPORTS: LANDSCAPING: BETTY O’NEILL Betty reported that spring landscaping has been delayed because of the presence of Google in our neighborhood. Since heavy equipment has been used in certain areas of the landscaping evaluations of the existing plants and sprinkler systems will be monitored. Any plants damaged will be replaced by Google and Google will repair any sprinkler problems caused by the use of heavy equipment or by any digging done by Google. Pool signage has been repainted and repositioned to be more prominent. A mixture of old and new plantings, and new edgings will enhance the entrance to the pool area.

SOCIAL: SUSAN LIND HOFFMAN The neighborhood social at Barley’s Brewhouse was well attended. The next upcoming NFHA social event is the Spring Fling to be held April 23rd at the NF Pool/Tennis complex. Susan is still working on fun plans for the event and will be posting details soon in the NF Newsletter.

POOL: HEIDI IMMEL Heidi reviewed three bids for painting the pool house. Heidi and Property Manager, Steve Parker recommended accepting a bid for $3000 from Brogan painting. A motion was made by Chris Lillard and seconded by Betty O’Neill to accept the Brogan bid. The motion was unanimously passed. The painting will begin the second week of April, weather permitting. Heidi has also been working with Midwest Pool Management Company to renew our pool service contract for the 2016 pool season. The board asked Heidi to have the contract extend the pool hours for Saturdays and Sundays. She will discuss this issue with Midwest and then report back to the board via e-mail. The NF pool will open the Friday before Memorial Day.

TREASURER’S REPORT: BILL GOODWIN Bill reports that all association tax reports have been filed and paid. One resident is in arrears for two years dues and late fees. As a result, the board has canceled trash pick up at that residence until dues and late fees have been paid. The board is pursuing collection of late fees from a management firm that owns a residence in Nottingham Forest. Bill also reviewed our Project Status and the budget. The major project and expense for the NFHA is the fence along 119th Street and Switzer Street. When the city of Overland Park is ready to repair their part of the fence, NFHA will need to have our finances ready to have our share of the work done. This project could delay some other items on the project list.
